That’s the H.M.S. Hood, a British Battle Ship from the WWI-WWII era that was sunk in 1941.  In real life, it’s over 850 feet long, and weights in at over 49,000 tons fully loaded.  A worthy sailing force that you wouldn’t want to mess with.

Well, Ed Diment decided to make a LEGO model to minifig scale, it’s massive, by LEGO standards.  It’s 20 feet long, and weighs in at about 200lbs.  A far cry from the original, but, massive for LEGOs.

It took him 7 months to finish using just under 100,000 bricks.  Lucky for him he had most of those LEGOs, otherwise according to him, it would probably cost around $15,000 to build it all new now.  The gun turrets are moterized, too!  Now, if only they fired stuff…

He says there are some museums that were interested in it, I am interested in those museums now.

Below is an assortment of photos from his Flickr account with the obglitory cat photo included.
